wife thought it was no more than right
that I should let you know what your
remedy has done for ne, and think SO
too.
I 1--we in East 18Th street, west CT
Third avenue, and nave lived there for
about twenty-three years, where [ own
real estate. Up to the time am about
to mention I had been q strong, well
man. There was always more or less
malaria in the neighborhood, but I had
not personally suffered from it. I. was
in 1850 had my first tack. l! came
on as suca attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss Of appetite and am1i-
ton, chilly sensations win slight fever
afterwards, . disposition to GAVIN ald
stretch, and so forth. | was employed
st that time at Killians & Brothers, tur-
njture manufacturers, in West sd street.
l hoped the attack would wear of, but
as it didn't consulted q well known and
able physician in Morrisanis, who gave
me quinine and told me what to do.
/ can sum up the first four and a half
or five years Of my experience in
lew words. Occasionally 1 was iaId
up for day or two, but OF the whole
I stuck 10 my w1rk. l kept taking
quinine, in larger doses from year
TO year, and kept on getting weaker and
worse, slowly but surely, all the time.
My trouble was now well defined suj
its symptoms were steady and regular.
] had dumb ague in its worst form,
and il was grinding me down il spite
of all that l could do or the Doctors
could DO. 1t held me in q TRIP Ike
trl III q LUUWJ coal mtHt. The poison
mad gone Eli through aud over me and
nothing was able to touch il. was fast
losing flesh and strength, and about
March, 1854, I knocked OF work entirely
and went home to be down sick, and to
die for all I could tell. l ran down SO
rapidly that l soon became unable to walk
any distance Later / went from room 20
room in my own house only by friends
holding me up by each arm. The doses
Of quinine were Increased until / ort,u
took thru arajH> at Dose The effects
of this tremendous stimulation was to
make me nearly wild Il broke
my sleep au up, and ] cf.en walked the
floor, or staggered about it,all night long,
scarcely able TO beer sry noises or even
human speech. My temper was extreme
Iy irritable. As to food, one OF my little
CHILDREN would eat more in 9 meal taan f.
could in day. l would order food and |
then turn from il in disgust. = lived on
Qulnine and other stinulants and o
wgSclf, like bear in winter. The Qui- .
nine set my head in g WhiTl, and the |
Iiquor-giYen as a mediCine-made nv
stomach SO sick | could not tolerate il.
From II5 pounds fmy proper weight /
/ ran down to ninetysSlVen pourds-the F..
weight CT light girl-sB1 was scarcely .
better than q Skeleton.

During the latter part OF this peIlcAr
early in $50, my physician ssid "MIlleI,
there's no use in my taking any more
money Of you, l CRl do you any good.
| might pour poun. II Quiniue down
.our throat, and it wouldn't help you"
On the strength Of this l gave up the
use of cuinine altogether, and made up
my mind 70 do nothing more and take my
chances.
Three weeks 8tteTWsTds-ab0ut the
last of Msy--hss wife saw an advertise
Of Eor
She told me OF i | said "Stuff and
it can 10 NE any good"
But she went TO G druggist :, neyerthe
her against Kashine: he said il was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
10 throw away her money on II, sc.
He said he d1IH keep it, but could get
il If she insisted a1a having It. Turn
ing away in disgust, z1ny wife spoke to
our neigbhor, Mr.. 4. G. Hegew9ld,
who got her bottle st g drug store IN
sixth svgGEe.
Almost agstGgt my Will, AMI without!
The lasst faith, Lbegan taking it, InoHe
week was better l began to sleep |
ytopAsd "seeing ghosts - | began TO
lavtisAh appetite aud TO gain strength
This vas now the LIST Of June, 1856, and
lY the end of that month ] was back at
nv bench at c. 2. Smiths scroll saving
factory In IIGth street, where l work now.
Since then have never lost 8 day from
sickness Taking kaskine only, about
.orty pellets in four equal doses g day, ]
!. continued to gain. The malaria ap-
oeared to be killed in my system, and
low I've got back my old weight -l7J
my old strength TO labor. l
am an establishment to myself and TO my
friends, and If kaskine did not do this l
ton't know what did. The only greater
hing it could do would be to bring q
lead man TO lie.
